10 Ideas for Newspaper Survival

Can you imagine the number of newspapers NYT would have sold if it had a 10 part series on why investor Bernie Madoff is a fraud. AND, if it ran the first 10 days of January 2008.

But, alas it wasn't done and in-depth journalism simply means partisan journalism.

So, you can find 20 or 200 ways to improve papers. But until they once again serve the public's interest, they'll continue their journey to irrelevance.
